About an hour’s train journey away from Dundee, lies a small town called Pitlochry, home to a forest that for a whole month of every year for the past fifteen years turns into a magical light show. This year’s theme was ‘Shimmer’, featuring disco balls, flashing lights, beautiful music and a giant tree fairy. Tickets […]
As a medical student, what better day to share about than the day we had our first formative assessment. To begin with, a formative assessment is a test which we sit for to test ourselves on how much we know and don’t know; it is not counted into our final grade, so it’s a conducive […]
Thought I would give you all an insight into what a typical day is like for me in my final year of my English degree. This semester, Fridays are my busiest days with five hours of classes. I actually only have one other hour a week on a Monday but thankfully this means I have […]
The past couple of weeks have flown in, with classes gearing up to coursework due dates and a few sociable nights- including a three-day 21st birthday celebration. Nearly a fortnight ago, the Humanities Society here at UoD played host to a Family Ties event where a couple of Third or Fourth Year students acted as […]
As a Kentish girl, born and raised, I spent my summers at the beach at Herne Bay or in little coffee shops to dip out of the sun while doing a spot of shopping in Canterbury. The summers were long awaited but the winters weren’t all that harsh. The leaves changed and welcomed the cool […]

It featured a lot of shifts in work, one night of Ring of Fire, one day of recovering from said Ring of Fire, one trip to the Freshers Fair and an obscene amount of binge-watching Married At First Sight USA (which I would definitely recommend […]
The past couple of weeks have been a bit of a mini-heatwave here in Dundee (sunniest city in Scotland, and all that) so we took full advantage of the sunshine-burning ourselves in the process- and decided to take a wee trip over to St. Andrews. St Andrews is a tourist hotspot and well-known throughout the […]
As I’ve said before, we are on a mission this summer to do as many exciting activities as possible on my, seemingly, very rare days off from work. So as I had two days off in a row, we decided to go camping of all things. Having grown up in Glasgow and being relatively adverse […]
This week I have had two whole days off work which is a rarity these days and so I decided to make the most of it and be as productive as possible! My boyfriend and I compiled a list of things we want to do and places we want to eat at during the summer and throughout […]
